🌳 are cool!
“But when researchers adjusted the model to reflect a hypothetical, much leafier Europe—with 30% of city spaces shrouded by trees—the number of heat-related deaths dropped by more than a third.”

Why is it that ESPs & paraprofessionals are investing so much time, energy & heart into our students & schools but taking home less and less as costs & expenses soar? We need to make sure that ALL make at least $25 an hour and not just those in the top tier! Make it so #mnleg

The right to vote forms the core of American democracy. A strong, vibrant democracy requires the broadest possible base of voter participation. Minnesotans who’ve served their time and are living in their communities should be allowed to vote. #RestoreTheVoteMN

Rep Alicia Kozlowski, “I asked my [incarcerated] brother, ‘What would it mean to you for us to restore the vote?’ He said, ‘It would mean that I could have a say in my kids' future & get it right for them because it wasn't right for me.” #RestoreTheVoteMN #MNLeg #HF28

It's critical that districts are able to retain high-quality ESPs, but that means making some big changes. Thank you Rep. for your bill to give ESPs access to unemployment during the summer months as a way to help some ESPs stay in the profession.

Honestly, I don’t have words to fully describe the joy, pride, and relief. That a room & beautiful stories packed full of trans and enby folks means . Today is a new day. And this just the start of many bright days ahead for all the little Leigh’s and Liish’s 🏳️⚧️ 🌈

My testimony on HF146, part 2.
This is an urgent moment for the trans community and Minnesota must make it clear to the entire nation that we welcome and affirm gender expansive people.

When signs the PRO Act into law, we will be keeping our promise to Minnesotans that we would codify the right to an abortion and protect reproductive freedom for all.
Abortion was on the ballot last fall, and Minnesotans were clear. We won’t go backwards.

Fighting for reproductive freedom for Minnesotans is exhausting, dehumanizing, frustrating work. And it's an absolute honor to do with these women. (Not pictured, but definitely included, our fearless )

Paras are absolutely essential, and do so much for all of our kids in schools. They deserve so much more. We're so happy that so many leaders took a moment to send this message.

During Rep. Andy Smith’s first week in the Minnesota House of Representatives, he was leaving a contentious abortion hearing when a man called after him in a hallway.
“Why do you hate babies so badly?” a man with a camera asked him. “You like tearing arms and legs off?” 🧵
